BURLINGTON NORTHERN SANTA FE RAILROAD & BNSF CONROE SUB RAILFAN SPOTS

BURLINGTON NORTHERN SANTA FE YARD IN CONROE TEXAS

Located about 2 blocks East of
theinterlocker with the UP Palestine Sub is Conroe's BNSF Yard.

If you come in off IH 45 on HWY 105 after you
cross tracks ( UP Palestine Sub.) turn right on 2nd St., go 2 blocks and
when you come to tracks (BNSF Conroe Sub.) The Yard office is on
your right. The yard power is usually on your left.

But you never know
what might be there. I've seen the famous "Slot Machine" and a
ribbonrail train complete with caboose.
